Nagle leaves ULM for Tulane

Assistant football coach Slade Nagle is leaving ULM to take a job at Tulane.

Nagle updated his Twitter account on Wednesday to “football assistant, offense” at Tulane and his location to New Orleans.

He followed new football coach Matt Viator to ULM from McNeese State and was slated to coach running backs and coordinate the special teams.

A former quarterback at McNeese, Nagle spent four years as running backs coach and special teams coordinator at his alma mater. Nagle’s resume includes stops at Central Arkansas as the assistant head coach and running backs coach in 2011, co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Texas State in 2010 and one season as an administrative assistant at LSU in 2009.

Tulane hired Willie Fritz from Georgia Southern as its new head coach on December 11.

Nagle’s departure leaves three spots vacant on the ULM football staff after cornerbacks coach Nate Brown left to take a job at North Texas. Strength and conditioning coach Joe Girardi was not retained by Viator.
